which I was determined to make fit the theme. So I heat embossed them to create the butterfly silhouette. Luckily for me the rest of the design team agreed that my was fine for the challenge (although looking on the challenge blog mine sticks out like a sore thumb!)

If you pop over to the Joanna Sheen challenge blog you will be able to see with wonderful creations made by the rest of the design team .You will also be able to see who were the winners of our last challenge.

Last week I was very lucky to win the lovely Donna's blog candy. Inside my wonderful parcel, crammed full of crafty goodies, was the sweet Lili of the Valley stamp that I used on today's card. It was so much fun to colour.

So here's my card, I was in my element with this one -combining 2 of my favourite themes!

I added loads of glitter to my snowflakes and Stickles on all the layers, it's a shame you cannot see the sparkle on my pictures!

If you pop over to the Lili's Little Fairies blog you will be able to see the wonderful girly and festive creations made by the rest of the design team. You can also see who were the winners of the last challenge.

Hello again everyone, I said I'd be back!
This is my second post for today, for my Card Mania DT card please click here

Well, today is the start of a new Sketch n Stash Challenge and this time our sketch has been designed by the wonderful and talented Kevin. Here is his fabulous sketch:

We are sponsored this time by the fabulous My Mums Craft Shop who will be giving a £10 voucher to the lucky winner.

I used the sketch to make a birthday card of my niece. She belongs to a Gymnastics club and enters competitions so I was delighted to find the idea image over at Digi stamp boutique. I went ultra pretty and girly for this one!

Tried to get a close up so you can see tiny charm which says' made with love'

Today's card is one I made for a friend who moved away, we exchange cards a couple of times a year in between birthdays and Christmas. I know she is going through a tough time at the moment so I wanted to surprise her with an extra card.

I choose this image because it reminds me of where we both used to live when we were children. There was a road we walked down on the way to the seafront in the summer and nearly every garden had the most glorious hydrangeas in a variety of pretty colours. I Googled free images and found this one here.

I layered up parts of the flower, I not sure how well you can see that on the picture though.

Good Morning my wonderful friends and blogging buddies
I'm so sorry I haven't added anything to my blog for a few days, I have been having fun making DT cards which all seem to be due in the same week.

The DT were given some fabulous images to use from Pink Cat Studios BUT because my printer has been out of action for a couple of days I coloured in an image that I already had printed out and decided not to make a Halloween card!

Bugaboo Stamps kindly let the design team have some images to use for the this challenge which is just as well because I don't have any spooky images at all!

Once I had printed my chosen image onto orange card I didn't really need to add much else.
I cut out a bat shape and suspended it with a strip of acetate so it looks like it is flying. I'll try to take another photo later so you can see this a bit clearer.

If you hop over to the Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge you will be able to see the wonderful spooky creations made by the rest of the design team. You will also be able to see who were the winner of the last challenge.

If you pop over to the Fab n Funky blog you will be able to see all the wonderful creations made by the rest of the design team including our new team members Ciska and Beccy . You can also see who were the winners of the last challenge.

I would like to enter this card into the following fabulous challenges:

The design team were lucky to be able to choose a digi-stamp from Pink Gem. There are so many gorgeous images to choose from. In the end I just couldn't resist this cute reindeer. I really enjoyed colouring him in.
